St. Patrick's Day

Hello! I know I'm a little late to blog about it, but it's pretty hard to get in anything on days that I work! Besides, nothing interesting happens on those days. As soon as I get home, all I do is take care of Lily, nap with her, then watch TV until it's time for bed! Only on the rare occasions do I go out with a friend while Mike is at work.

Anyway! On St. Patrick's Day, Mike, Lily, and I ventured over to my mom's after stopping to get some Tropical Smoothie. I gave my sister my old Nikon D70s and so we raided the garage where I fit everything from my apartment, looking for the charger. No luck on that.. But we did manage to find my CrockPot and some old clothes we were missing! I also got some really cute shots of her two kids (Violet & Everett) and Lily!

Candace and I at one point went over to Wal-Mart to pick up the ingredients to make Irish Cream Cupcakes. My god, they were delicious! I couldn't find any cake flour, so I had to use bread flour. Next time I make these, I think I'm going to mix in a bit of sour cream to try and make them more moist. I think they were baked right since there was no cracks in the cupcake, but they just weren't as moist as I was hoping for them to be. After Wal-Mart, we went to Lee's Liquor to buy a bottle of Irish Cream.. As we were leaving, I noticed this really awesome wicker rocking chair that I just HAD to take. I'll have to post pictures of it soon. I plan on spray painting it :)

Unfortunately, while we were sorting out the garage, our next door neighbor came over to let us know his wife had passed away the previous weekend. So so so sad! She was nice. And obsessed with cats. I felt so bad... After I frosted the cupcakes, I brought some over to him. And then last night, I found out that my World Literature Honors teacher from my senior year of high school passed away from cancer earlier that day. RIP to them both :(
